Altered Time - your #1 World of Warcraft Mage resource!

Thanks guys!

Your mana management is lacking. That is probably the main reason your DPS is low. You spend a lot of time at around 80% mana. You rather should be above 90% if you are not burning. That is the second big thing. You do not burn consequently. In a ~600s fight I would expect around 7 to 8 Evocation u...

My suggestion is that look in warcraftlogs the ranking for best arcane mages in the world and study how they do it. Currently I struggle with your same problem, with Imperator, I do 19k DPS (You do 22k) and checking on the some of the best parses, with the same spec (SN/IF/PC) they cast way more ABs...

Hello. I want to know why I suck so much in this fight. I was 659 for this log and did 18k DPS. Yeah it was my first kill, but my raid leader expect me to performe better, at least 20-25k DPS. So I scratch my head and try to check on the best arcane parses for that ilvl bracket and there are players...

Not reputation, just a thank you button. It's just that I want to find a less spammy solution to thank you all for the great content we find in these forums.

After burn phase or after using barrage, to gain back your charges fast.

A thank you or like button, to show gratitude for all the work some people put in some of the great posts and replies they give. Most of the time I just want to say thanks for this or that, but I don't post it, because I think it's a reply of little value. I'd love to see a thank button that could a...

I use RoP for static fights and IF for heavy movement fights
Supernova

PC in fights I know well and Overpower while learning fights.

I do more DPS burning to 20-30% mana, than burning to lets say 10% or burning to 50-60%. I'm not theorycrafter, but I can notice the difference. Anyone else notice that?

I have the same doubts myself. WHat is the priority with burn phase and prismatic crystal usage, to decide when to use your cooldowns. That's include supernova and he trinket shards of nothing. SUpernova: on cooldown, but you want to save 2 or at least 1 for each PC. AP: ideally have AP for each PC ...

Eh, I wouldn't say Arcane is more viable than Fire. Sure, on single-target sims it is but what fights are you going to see Arcane equal to or outperforming Frost? Probably just Butcher and Kargath, assuming you don't have to go up into the stands. Fire should be better on Twin Ogron and Tectus, so ...

Every single class in the game has a DPS spec that outperforms ALL 3 mage specs, at every single percentile. 99th percentile: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statistics/6#dataset=99" target="_blank 70th: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statistics/6#dataset=70" target="_blank 50th: https://www.warcraftlog...

Thanks for info!

So, AB dmg 10% buff.

What's your opener?

Using Alter time before time warp -.-

Thanks for starting the thread :D I use these macros, they help me to spam AB and AM and not waste AM full duration. I notice this boosted my DPS, I think mainly because of delay issues (I have a 150ms delay). #showtooltip /cast [nochanneling] Arcane Blast #showtooltip /cast [nochanneling] Arcane Mi...

Great idea, great site. I hope it just keep growing. Suggestions so far: 1. Better web positioning, so far is kinda hard to google this forum, so whatever you can do to improve that could be awesome. Anyways, in time it will get better. 2. Can u do a macro thread with all the useful macros for the d...

I started playing WoW back in 2008 I think, Black Temple patch. I played MMOs since 2004, but I wasn't able to play WoW because I had a crapy PC. I started to play and undead warlock but decided I wanted to try mage. I wanted to use arcane magic and I was tired of using pets/minions. So, I started C...
